I loved Def Leppard. I wanted to play like them. I got a guitar and I never learned any Def Leppard songs.

It's not really on topic, but since it's just a trial of those channels it's OK right now

#

mathew scott, not a band per se but his first official song is really bringing back the insane rock pre 2000 vibe

#

ok im talking about rn since that song got released 2 weeks ago BUT i saw his playing years back and urged me

#

At 4 in 1985 I asked to play guitar instead of the incoming piano lesson, at teen age I guess I wanted to switch to electric because of rock classics, Steve Vai and metallica

Nothing specifically made me want to play guitar, I just wanted to do it and my Pop bought me one. I picked it up again because I wanted to start learning things like Post-Rock/Math-Rock songs

I didn't really have one specific band, I just listened to a bunch of classic rock songs. Then one day I just thought wouldn't it be cool if I learned this on guitar and then i just started learning

Definitely Metallica. I would have no reason to play the guitar or listen to metal if I didn't discover them.

It was QUEEN.

#

such an amazing band, good songwriting.

#

Although the band is currently on its legs with its 2 last founding members, The fanbase seemed to get boosted real hard after BoRhap.

#

So the support for QUEEN has been existential.

Queen is a good band

I think a at-the-time small band called newhaven was my dive into guitar and into music as a whole.

Sucks since I don't have the ear to pick out what they're playing, and none of their songs are tabbed.

My whole life, I had never been into music, as I had only grew up with Christian music and Pop Country, and a little bit of mainstream pop until I was about 15( I extremely disliked most of this, except for old-school christian, christian rock and classic country/country rock). My first taste of guitar music that I remember was when I watched Megamind (my fav movie of all time) which had Bad to The Bone, Back In Black, Highway to Hell, Welcome to The Jungle, as well as some other songs, I also remember my older sister playing guitar hero 3. Up until I was about 15 I never listened to much music, as I never really had a way to, so I was mostly into gaming for most of my teens. When I was 16 I had a short-lived farmhand job in which I saved up for a budget gaming pc. I had been layed off for financial reasons, so I would just be playing games, maybe watch youtube, then get bored for a bit. I decided to try out spotify, most of the music I added was from Megamind, and Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2. Since I had become interested in Rock, I went and dug out the old GH controller and GH3 wii disc and started playing. alot of my fav bands I discovered here- The Who, Weezer, and then there was Pearl Jam. Even flow sounded mysterious to me, It was like nothing that I ever heard before, It led me down the grunge rabbit hole, and led to PJ becoming my fav band. but the "One" song that made me want to play an guitar was One by Metallica. It was soft, heavy, beautiful and terrifying all in 7+ min.(One is also my fav song of all time) I didn't have much space in the room I shared with my bro, so I looked into getting a ukulele, since they are good beginner instruments and they dont take up much space. As a joke I looked up One by Metallica on Uke, and their actually was a couple vids, never thought that it could sound that heavy. Got one for Christmas that year. Since then I've picked up acoustic guitar. Don't know If any one took the time to read this, but 👍 if you did.

for a short answer Pearl Jam and Metallica, sry didn't mean to make the message that long oof

The White Stripes and probably another band. I started last summer

When i heard "Sweet Child O Mine" by Gun N Roses, i was amazed. So that riff and solo inspired me to play guitar.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Live at Slane Castle concert in 2003. Girl in my class knew I loved them and gave me the DVD in elementary school, I must've been 11. What a show.. Watched it so many times. I wanted to be Frusciante since ;D

#

not really the whole band, but tom delonge from blink 182 made me want to, the riffs he played in the ernie ball string theory episode with him made me wanna do stuff like that myself lol

#

if it never ended up being him it would've been john squier from the stone roses or noel gallagher

# rare hedge I loved Def Leppard. I wanted to play like them. I got a guitar and I never lear...

The problem with learning def leppard stuff, is that the band has 2 very competent guitarists who play very different things. So learning either Phil Collen’s side or only Steve Savage’s side will give you a very incomplete sound. But the really fun part is trying to come up with a combo role that tries to cover both sides with only 1 guitar. That will test your creativity as a guitarist. Not all of their songs can be done this way, for example God Of War.

#

Hysteria can be done with just 1 guitar if you know how, but it’ll still sound a little empty.

#

Interpol and Arctic Monkeys for sure

Pink floyd too

Mahavishnu Orchestra. I've been a violinist since I was six years old. Goodman played violin with Mclaughlin, and the marriage of the keys and Cobham on drums...absolutely awestruck. Uncle Dave was a huge fan and is the owner of the EDS 1275 in my sig pic. He let me use her for a decade before he moved south, and as a result it shaped me into a multi instrumentalist capable of playing a 12 as innately as a six.

Honestly it’s a weird one for me but vampire weekend. I didn’t really pay attention to music that much cuz al I truly knew was pop and I didn’t like it. Vampire weekend was the first band that was different to me. I went down the rabbit hole and came out with a guitar and a love for rock music

My Chemical Romance and Nirvana

AC/DC I think

# upper lance I have no idea why but u2 for some reason

Same I think. They were sort of what got me interested in music in general, and I played guitar just because there was a guitar conveniently to hand, not because I set out to learn. Once I got going I got into acdc pretty quick, and then once I discovered led zeppelin my taste exploded in all directions

I can't name a band, but I can name a genre; Country. Songs like "Get Along" by Kenny Chesney, "Sweet Annie", "Day That I Die", and "Homegrown" by Zac Brown Band (featuring Amos Lee in the second song), and "God, Your Mama and Me" by Florida Georgia Line are a few songs that got me into playing the guitar. My acoustic specifically. My electric however... Galneryus. Any song from that band are ones I'd play along to once I sacrifice my fingers to God. 🙃

Does Bass counts ? If it does, then définetly Les Claypool, i was amazed by the character and the basslines that he was able to create and play, cuz I ve never heard this kind of music. I ve grown out of it, but he was the very first musician ive looked up to

Avenged Sevenfold was my introduction to metal, and metal is the genre that really inspired me to learn guitar. syn gates has some of the most epic and beautiful solos, and zachy vengance has some fantastic and powerful riffs. really made me want to do what they do

i always was a music nerd but when i got into a lot of folk punk/indie folk artists, particularly when i listened to jeffrew lewis, it made guitar feel a lot more relateable and i was like "okay i wanna do that." I think my other main inspiration and the musician I identify witht he most would probably be Phil Elverum of the Microphones and Mount Eerie.
